Open daily from 4pm until 2am, the district offers visitors exciting gastronomy, entertainment and shopping experiences.

The inauguration of the nightlife district, the first ever in the north, is part of a development plan for the night-time economy that the Government has orientated to promote the domestic economy, especially in the post-COVID-19 pandemic period.

The Ocean Park nightlife district has nearly 200 booths and mobile trucks selling regional specialities, food and beverage, clothing and accessories, handicraft products, and handmade souvenirs.

The new nightlife district is also expected to be a check-in hotspot for Hanoi's youth.
